On the afternoon of November 1, the third round of the 3rd China-Japan-Han Weiping Cup Go Masters in 2021 was played in Du Fu Caotang, Chengdu. In the end, the Chinese team led by Nie Weiping lost 2:3 to the Korean team, among them, Nie Weiping lost to his old rival Cao Xuanxuan, and Chang Hao and Gu Li lost to Lee Chang-ho and Zhao Hansheng respectively.
In this Masters, the biggest unpopularity is the good state of the Japanese team, and the first two rounds of China and South Korea were 1:4 cold and lost to the Japanese team. On the second matchday, Masaki Takemiya defeated Cho Kaoru-hyun, Keigo Yamashita defeated Lee Chang-ho, Kikuyo Aoki and Kentaro Fukuoka also won two consecutive victories, japan beat South Korea 4-1 on aggregate, and they also won the championship in the first round of the two consecutive victories.
Although there is no suspense of the championship, the "narrow road" of Chinese and Korean celebrities is always particularly eye-catching when they meet again. Nie Weiping and Cao Xuanxuan, who were the flagship figures who detonated the Sino-Korean Go fever respectively, are now once again tattooed and talked, and Cao Xuanxuan played better in the second half of the game, and Nie Weiping regretted that he could not open the peace. The soft and gentle commentator who served as the explainer commented that Chang Haozhibai and Li Changhao had been biting very tightly in front of the battle, starting from the 68 break, Bai walked around without walking to anything, and although the back was very tight, the black chess response was correct. At this point, the Chinese team fell behind 0-2, Zhang Xuan and young player Tu Xiaoyu did not fail in their mission, defeated Li Jingyuan and Wen Minzhong respectively, and successfully equalized. However, in the final round, Gu Li's right side did not respond properly, resulting in a sharp turn in the situation, and finally lost to Zhao Hansheng, and China lost 2:3 to South Korea, ranking at the bottom.
Although they did not win the championship, for the Chinese team chess players who participated, the game of "returning" to Chengdu was always a joy. Chang Hao Jiudan and Zhang Xuan have been regular guests in Chengdu for many years, and chang Hao participated as a special invited chess player in this year's Southwest Chess King Tournament, and Zhang Xuan solved the game on the spot. This weekend, at the third China-Japan-Korea Nie Weiping Cup Go Masters, the two returned to their identities as chess players: Chang Hao represented the Chinese Go Mesozoic chess players, and Zhang Xuan played as the only female player on the Chinese team.
"In addition to competition, Go is a very connotative sport and our excellent traditional culture. Chengdu is a city with a deep cultural heritage, this culture and Go have an indissoluble relationship, in my impression, Chengdu Weiqi tournaments are held in some cultural attractions, my third world champion is won in Wuhou Temple. This time, the competition was placed in Du Fu Caotang, which not only gave the competition a new meaning, but also combined the local culture well, and I must praise it. Chang Hao said frankly that Chengdu is called "Chess City", "The atmosphere of Go is particularly good, all sectors of society are particularly supportive of Go, and many Go events have been held in recent years." Go is full of cultural connotations and will certainly contribute to Chengdu's construction of a world cultural city. In contrast, Chang Hao's disciple Gu Li has always called Chengdu his second hometown.
Of course, Qisheng Nie Weiping's love for Chengdu is also very deep, "My story with Du Fu Caotang is the first time I came here to participate in the competition in 1965, I still participated in the children's group, and got the first national championship in my life, so I have a good relationship with Chengdu." And I feel that Chengdu is one of the few cities I have come to. In the past two years, Nie Weiping has come to Chengdu very frequently, and can also be regarded as a witness to the development of Chengdu Go, "The popularity of Chengdu Go is relatively good in the country, and Chengdu's performance in the Weijia competition is also relatively good." This foundation is that Sichuan and Chengdu were very popular in the 1960s, so Chengdu Weiqi has been developing well, and it was called 'Chess City' at that time. Then it shrank a little bit for a while, but now it's up again. ”
Although there are some regrets in the game, Chengdu as a chess city still receives praise and praise from the four generations of old, middle-aged and young Go players. The 3rd China-Japan-Korea Nie Weiping Cup Go Masters in 2021 is hosted by the China Weiqi Association, Chengdu Municipal Sports Bureau and Chengdu Qingyang District People's Government, and hosted by Sichuan Weiqi Association, Chengdu Chess Academy, Chengdu Qingyang District Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau. The prize money for the winner is 450,000 yuan, the prize money for the runner-up is 250,000 yuan, and the prize money for the third runner-up is 200,000 yuan.
